    Hi Markus,

    the FSM database uses Azure SQL PaaS Database.  

    SQL Server technology is used to create full, differential and transaction log backups for the purposes of point-in-time restore (PITR).

    Backups are written to Azure Geo-Redundant Storage (RA-GRS), which is replicated to a secondary Azure Region for Disaster Recovery (DR) purposes.

    Backups are additionally encrypted at rest using Transparent Database Encryption (TDE).

    Retention: 35 Days

    Backup Frequency:  

    Transaction log backups occur every 5-10 minutes. Differential backups occur every 12 hours.

    This is handled by Azure and is not configurable.


    You may want to verify the above with the IFS Cloud Team by raising a ticket (“Any other question”) as different terms may apply to your contract.

    Best regards
    Roman
